Charisma is an ability score and the primary ability of Bards, Warlocks, and Sorcerers. Charisma affects its related skills (Deception, Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion) and improves spellcasting for Bards, Paladins, Warlocks and Sorcerers (better chance to hit enemies with spell attack rolls; increases the Difficulty Class of spells with saving throws).
As of Early Access Patch 9, increasing one's Charisma Modifier also improves the prices offered by Traders (by increasing the Persuasion skill bonus).
“Force of personality. Improves spellcasting for bards, paladins, sorcerers, and warlocks. Influences traders' prices.„
